None pictures are arranged in a grid. 1 A person sits on a rooftop overlooking a city at night. 2 A rickety wooden bridge in the mist. 3 A bloody hand holds a small pink flower. 4 A silhouette of a girl hugs her knees as she dissolves into smoke with an orange backdrop. 5 A girl stares in the mirror, a scary face with red eyes smiles back. 6 A woman in a white gown with her back to the viewer and a glowing orb of water before her. 7 A bright magic circle projects a beam upward in an ancient building. 8 A girl walks through a dark forest with wisps of fire surrounding her. 9 A monochrome picture of a semi-transparent girl and an image of herself screaming upward.

An image of the cover of the novel BLACKBLOOD by Kree Sullivan, surrounded by arrows pointing to it with its tropes: found family; enemies-to-???; blood magic; blood drinking; blood!; unapologetically feral lesbians; unapologetically feral enbies; one apologetically feral Cis man
A Grieving Smuggler.
A Fugitive Mage.
A Turncoat Huntsman.
The Heist of their Lives.
Teenage smuggler, Armina, never intended to inherit the Blackblood, a truck loaded with illegal magical artifacts. But when tragedy strikes, leaving her in charge with only her irritable ex-girlfriend for company and with the magic-hating Huntsmen on her tail, she's determined to follow in the footsteps of her murdered Captain.
When Armina discovers a fugitive mage hiding aboard her truck, dripping their black blood, she can't ignore their pleas for help. The mage desperately wants to rescue their mother from the Huntsmen's headquarters in the Western mountains, a mission Armina knows is doomed to fail, but one she can't ignore.
As they tear across a dust bowl wasteland toward the dark spires in the west, secrets from Arminaโs past come into view, lit by the blinding headlights of the roaring truck.
Secrets that could endanger the mission, the truck, and her splintering found-family in the process.
A Grieving Smuggler๐
A Fugitive Mage๐ฎ
A Turncoat Huntsman๐ก
The Heist of their Lives.
My debut novel, BLACKBLOOD, is releasing April 1. It's up for preorder on Amazon and B&N and is available to add on Goodreads now ๐ค

Ryland finally had the job he needs at the exclusive nightclub where his brother was last seen. As he gets closer to discovering what happened to his brother and a trail of other missing men, he meets a beautiful partner to help him with his hunt. Together they find that their government is lying to them and minsters are real... and they are hunting one. They must decide how much danger they are willing to face for the truth.

A collage of nine images in a grid. A feminine hand in the pocket of a pair of plaid pants. A log home in the middle of the woods. Hands holding a horned animal skull over candles. An animal skull in the crook of a tree branch. A black cat with green eyes staring straight ahead. An open book with flowers on top. A woman holding a melting white handle with a hand protecting the flame. Grave stones in a cemetery. A half buried human skeleton in the ground.

Five pictures are arranged around a block of text on a scroll. The scroll reads "Found family featuring: an awkward assassin, a quippy gambler, a stubborn blacksmith, a stoic elf, an impulsive princess." The five pictures depict a grassy landscape with a setting sun, a stack of rolled up scrolls bound by string, a dagger and crown laid on the grass, a campfire surrounded by people with many stars in the sky, and finally a person standing on the edge of a rocky mountain looking out over a misty river and mountains.
